A role play. A couple is a couple.

The other day I tried this Role Play, and it was quite a lot of fun. First you write on the blackboard about 8 well-known couples, for example, Romeo and Juliet, Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, etc., and you have to ask your students to choose a character from one of the couples; then you choose a boy and a girl in the class and they have to prepare a love declaration based on their characters. One can be Fiona from Shrek and the boy may be David Beckam, so in the end, everybody has a lot of fun, and from my point of view they do not feel shy, and speak more than ever.
I hope this is a good idea for some of you.
See you soon!
